Ask about "side by side" loop

[aldyth maharsha]

Hi All

I have question and I'm newbie in ansible...I try to clone multiple vm from template in vmware with each of them have different ip address..Example my script below

---

- hosts: localhost

  connection: local

  vars:

     vcenter: vcenter01

     datastore: datastore-1

     datacenter: dc01

     vmcluster: cluster01

     vmtemplate: OEL69

  tasks:

   - name: Create vm from template

     vmware_guest:

         hostname: "{{ vcenter }}"

         username: admini...@vsphere.local

         password: secret

         validate_certs: no

         datacenter: "{{ datacenter }}"

         name: "webapps-{{ item }}"

         template: "{{ vmtemplate }}"

         cluster: "{{ vmcluster }}"

         folder: "/APPS"

         state: poweredon

     with_sequence: start=1 end=20

I can clone 20 vm from template successfully but when I tried to assign IP address I dont know how to create side by side loop like this

webapps-1 192.168.10.101

webapps-2 192.168.10.102

webapps-3 192.168.10.103

and so on until 20...So how to create side by side loop with different iteration?...Thank you

Did you consider using a bit of arithmetic instead? Or this is not
flexible enough for you?

E.g. you could do "{{ 100 + item | int }}" (take note you need the "|
int" on item because it's a string). Preferably you'd make the "100" a
parameter instead of leaving it in as magic, of course :)

Best regards
